If any of you want to give me any advice, go ahead. But I think I'm just signing off and saying thanks for all of the posts. I never made as much of an effort on these boards as I should of and I know my game suffered because of it.

The operative word here is effort. You might also add in passion if you like.

Sounds to me like you do have a good understanding of the basics and can/will be a winning player in the long run if you will devote some "caring" about the game to your efforts.

Irie (and others) have also said that if they had quit the game every time they got frustrated or lost a bunch, it would have cost them thousands in the long run.

Quit if you like, study and improve if you enjoy the game.

Best wishes either way. Slacker
